The original Viking thread winder was made of bone and measured 4 cm on the longest side with a thickness of 3.5 mm.
Our replica measures 4.5 cm with a thickness of 5 mm and is made of acacia wood.
A Viking thread winder like this is the forerunner of the thread spool and is not only a practical but also an authentic sewing utensil for winding sewing thread in style.
The end of the thread is inserted through the small hole in the corner to prevent it from unwinding.
